Cheap Rubbish Removal: How to Save on Your Clean-Out
Cheap does not have to mean dodgy. Here's how to keep your rubbish removal costs down and still get a good job.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Clear a full load at once
Since removal is priced by volume, doing it all in one go is cheaper per item than lots of little jobs. Round up everything that needs to go before you book.
Donate and sell first
Anything still good can be sold or donated, less in the van means a smaller load and a smaller price. Recycling stations take some items free too.
Get an upfront quote
Avoid surprises by sending a photo for a fixed price, and choose a local crew (like us) with no hidden tip fees. What you are quoted is what you pay.
